God of Dragon - Chapter 48

Ning Xinhai concentrated and released her sense immediately when she heard what Cui Xiaoxin said. Thus, she could know everything that happened around them including the blowing wind, the waving grass, and the chirping birds.

“Miss, be careful with your words.” Ning Xinhai persuaded her in a low voice. If the words were heard by the Yan Family, especially by the old butler who looked so thin that it seemed like he could be blown over by a gust of wind but could hardly be beaten by her, Ning Xinhai would be in trouble. At least it would break the relationship between the Cui Family and the Yan Family.

“It’s just the truth. Who cares?” Cui Xiaoxin did not care at all and said with a smile, “My uncle loves his son so much that he changed my arrangement with ease. He doubts Li Muyang, but there is no actual evidence to show his exact identity. It’s better to expose him so that more and more people will concentrate on him. Then, there will be no way for Li Muyang to hide.

“But has he ever thought about my feelings? Li Muyang saved my life. The reason why he was chased by Crow was that he was implicated by me. He is now abandoned like weeds on the roadside. He was trampled by others and might be in danger at any time. Isn’t that too unfair to Li Muyang?”

“Miss, you should have known it a long time ago,” Ning Xinhai said in a low voice to comfort her. “To them, there is no justice. They only care about interests. It’s normal for them to abandon an unrelated person to protect their own son. They don’t even need to pretend to be innocent.”

“Yeah, just because we are surrounded by these people, I am very grateful for his help. I am grateful that when I was in such a dangerous situation, Li Muyang rushed over and used his thin body to block the sword in Crow’s hand.”

“But he is not weak.” Ning Xinhai said worriedly, “Miss, you have always been unwilling to let me find out his true identity. But you should know that his hidden strength is really shocking. He blocked Crow’s attacks twice in a row, and even killed him on his own. This time, the Chatelain forces him to expose his strength, but if he doesn’t have that kind of strength, if he looks weak, I’m afraid it will be hard for the Chatelain to succeed, right?”

“He didn’t ask about my identity,” Cui Xiaoxin said.

“But he didn’t know your identity.”

“Do you think that Li Muyang is an idiot? No, he is not. At least his performance during this period let me know that not only is he not an idiot, but he is also quite smart. I have a master bodyguard like you, and every day when I go to see him, there will be guards to surround me. I am related to the Jiangnan City Governor, and the son of the City Governor is my cousin. Do you think that this is not enough to make a person suspect my identity? But he has never asked.”

“Because he did not ask about your identity, you won’t allow us to investigate his identity?”

“We have to be fair,” said Cui Xiaoxin. “He knows this much about me, and I know this much about him. What’s the benefit of knowing too much? I don’t want to trouble myself.”

“Since things have come to this point, what’s your plan, Miss?”

“We can’t let an outsider take on the responsibility of the Cui Family’s danger,” said Cui Xiaoxin in a low voice.

“Miss…” Ning Xinhai hurriedly dissuaded her and said, “Don’t compete with the Chatelain. As long as you make a move, he will know what you want. We are going back to the capital city. Why should we annoy him?”

“Yes. We’re going back, so should we leave all the risks and responsibilities to a guy who has nothing to do with these things? I can’t do such a thing.”

“Miss…”

“Where is Yan Xiangma?”

“When I came back, I saw him rushing in the direction of Li Muyang’s house.”

Cui Xiaoxin pondered for a moment and said, “It seems that there’s no need for us to do anything. My uncle is intelligent, but he has his rivals.”

“Miss, are you referring to Yan Xiangma?”

“He is the best choice.” Cui Xiaoxin sighed slightly. “Although it is very unfair for him to do so, it’s proper for him to protect me. After all, he is not only a member of the Yan Family, but also a member of the Cui Family. He is my cousin. If there is a chance, I will repay his kindness several times over. Why do we need to drag an outsider into this?”

“I see,” Ning Xinhai said in a low voice.

“Protect my cousin’s safety,” Cui Xiaoxin said. “The changes that happened in Capital Heaven have affected Jiangnan City. After returning to the capital, I’m afraid we will be more aware of the dangerous atmosphere, right?”

“Yes, Miss.”

Ning Xinhai left quietly, just as he had come.

Cui Xiaoxin walked back and forth among the flowers, with deep worry in her eyes.

“In this incident, my uncle-in-law added fuel to the fire. He must have his own intentions.

“What does he want?

“Wasn’t the position of the prosperous city’s head enough to satisfy his appetite?

“This time, he let Yan Xiangma come to the capital city first. There must be some hidden meaning in it.”

…

Yan Xiangma was indeed going to find Li Muyang, because he could only take a look at Li Sinian if he found Li Muyang.

Yan Xiangma liked Li Sinian.

He had never seen such a girl who ignored him and sneered at him. She looked at him as if she were looking at a lump of dirt. It was very different from those girls who rushed over like moths to a flame because of his identity or handsome appearance.

The most important thing was that she was so cute and beautiful. Her eyes seemed to have spirituality, and her gestures were full of youthful vigor, which made people feel happy when they saw her.

Yan Xiangma was very angry. When he came to visit Li Muyang, the door of the Li Family home was closed and no one was at home.

“Young Master, why don’t we come back tomorrow?” Li Dalu, who was by the side of Yan Xiangma, comforted him in a low voice.

“Come back tomorrow? Then I’ll get nothing today, won’t I?” Yan Xiangma waved his fan and said angrily.

“So shall we wait at the door?”

“Wait? Who am I? I am the son of the Chatelain, the most famous young master in Jiangnan City. You want me to wait? I never did such a thing!”

“So, Young Master, what do you think?”

“Go and find them. Get them back for me.”

“Yes, Young Master. I’ll send someone to inquire around.” As Li Dalu waved his hand, the underlings around him scattered and began to do their jobs.

“Young Master, why don’t you take a break in the carriage now?”

“No, I’m not going. What if my clothes wrinkle?”

Early in the morning, he awoke to dress up and put on the most expensive and handsome clothes in order to impress Li Sinian.

But the result was that Yan Xiangma was still disappointed.

Soon, his subordinates had reported to him the news that something had happened at Li Muyang’s cake shop, so he rushed to help.

Hearing this, Yan Xiangma was very happy. If Li Muyang was in the shop, Li Sinian could be alone with him after she came back, which meant that he had more time and space to show her his unique and profound knowledge.

However, on second thought, this would not work. If Li Sinian knew that something had happened to her shop, but he did not care about it, what would she think of him?

At that time, he might not even be as good as a lump of dirt.

So, Yan Xiangma waved his hand and said, “My friend is in trouble. I should help him. Let’s go.”

Yan Xiangma did not have the chance to help because by the time he arrived, the trouble had already been solved. The Gendarme Regiment of the Chatelain’s Manor had already surrounded the cake shop.

The Gendarme Regiment, who were wearing the imperial uniforms, surrounded Li Muyang. Their swords had been drawn out and their arrows had been put on the strings. Any carelessness would lead to a fierce fight.

Yan Xiangma was slightly shocked. This trouble was a little more serious than he had imagined.

He rushed into the cake shop with his fellows. When the soldiers around tried to stop him, he struck his head and shouted, “Open your damn eyes and look at who I am!”

Li Dalu took out a token from his chest, very arrogantly. When every soldier saw it clearly, he took it back triumphantly.

The soldiers saluted and gave way to him. Yan Xiangma walked in swaggeringly with a group of subordinates.

“Li Muyang…!” Seeing the red in Li Muyang’s eyes, Yan Xiangma was slightly shocked. This was a f**king sign of shapeshifting. If he couldn’t control it properly, maybe there would be no one alive.

“What happened?” Yan Xiangma turned around and shouted at the captain of the Gendarme Regiment.

The captain knew this famous Young Master of a rich family in Jiangnan City. He ran over very respectfully and said, “Young Master, there is a murder case here. That guy hit and killed someone. We need to arrest him and bring him to justice…”

“Hit and kill someone? Did you see that with your own eyes?”

“Young Master, I’ve received a report…”

“Report? Who did it?”

“The man who reported the case has left.”

“How did you do your job? Are you all blind? Are there any laws in Jiangnan City? Is there anyone still compliant with the law?” Yan Xiangma shouted abuse while pointing at the captain.

“Young master, where did I go wrong?”

“As the person involved in the case, what I saw with my own eyes is that those hooligans on the ground rushed to the store and struck us at once. And they also asked us to take out our wallets and said that they wanted to rob me. Obviously, they were targeting me. They wanted to kill me!”

“But, Young Master, haven’t you just now squeezed in?”

“Smack!”

Yan Xiangma slapped him again and scolded him. “That was because I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, so I went out to the toilet. I could have left immediately, but I couldn’t let loyal and brave people suffer. He was wronged by you bastards, so I made a detour and came back.”

Yan Xiangma pointed at Li Muyang and said, “If he hadn’t tried his best to fight and sacrificed his life to save me, I would have been…”

With red eyes, Yan Xiangma patted his chest and said, “You don’t know how dangerous the situation was at that time. It almost scared me to death…”

“…”
